Abstract

The soul is this activity of world-making and self-making, according to Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka's phenomenological interpretation. With its focus on consciousness and self-experience, phenomenology provides a unique tool for analyzing the soul. Edmund Husserl, the father of transcendental phenomenology, believed that the entire history of philosophy has been a search for the phenomenological method. Truth, the telos of philosophy, discloses itself in the method of phenomenology, which verifies its self-evident insight into its discoveries. One of phenomenology's discoveries is that the description of the human being, as a sentient being, includes its body and soul.
